Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"I found The Least Possible Fuss and Publicity judicious, sensible, and exceptionally well researched. I have seldom read a history of policy – in this country or in any other – that catches the essence of policy formation as well as Paul Evans does. This book is unusually good, indeed excellent." Robert Bothwell, University of Toronto and author of Trudeau's World: Insiders Reflect on Foreign Policy, Trade, and Defence, 1968–84
"This book introduces new evidence and impressive, at times even minute details of the Canadian immigration policy development and implementation processes. Paul Evans's analysis of the evidence reveals a sophisticated understanding of Canada's legislative process, enriching the historiography as well as contemporary understandings of policy." Adam Chapnick, Royal Military College of Canada and author of Canada on the United Nations Security Council: A Small Power on a Large Stage
“This book will benefit historians and political scientists generally be[1]yond those who are interested in immigration policies as it reveals Canada’s unchanging colonial structure, which has offered certain people the privilege and power to define its economic and political system.” Canadian Historical Review
